Evangelical preachers are the last people I would take advice from on any subject, especially Military and foreign policy. Few things ever did a better job of illustrating the disconnect between religion and morality quite like the evangelicals pledging their unconditional love for the most grotesquely immoral President in American history. There is no horror that cannot be, and has not been, justified in the name of religion.
When I was a teenager, there was a week of religious revivals going on in the small town where we lived. So two of my sisters and several girlfriends and I decided to check out these tent meetings and stir things up. And we did and challenged the words and intentions of these charlatans and were asked to leave each of them because we were being so disrespectful. It stayed with me. Still being disrespectful to bogusness is life sustainable food. Perhaps even spiritual oil.
"especially Military" Unfortunately the United States military spends millions of tax dollars each year on Religions. It has high ranking clergy with full benefits and pay. It builds and maintains expensive religious buildings on many military bases. Amazing that it only recognizes the few major religions as worthy to spend money on.
Again no separation of church and state in the military, part of the United States government. Tradition outweighs common sense.
Keep religion out of the US military. IMO one can see the potential for conflicts between them.
‘Men never do evil so completely or cheerfully as in the name of religion’. But, people are starting to see through the Evilgelical hogwash and grift. Even here in the Bible Belt, church parking lots are remarkably empty on Sunday mornings. Slowly, Hemant and these other latterday Diogenes shining their lights on the lying grifters is having the desired effect.
Oh come on Nogodz, you are showing your raising . The seven deadly sins apply only to Roman Catholics. He was raised marginally Presbyterian, so he gets a pass.
Remember their prize is the spiritual oil which is the sum total of the gifts of god and which they need to spread the word. Sorry. I'm just playing but it's all so completely bogus. They seem to equate everything with God. As if they know Him. Grift. Fraud. Poser religiosity.
The oil of the spirit. It's that stuff that is cooked up from the residue of leaves, smoked and gives you revelations that are really hallucinations. I can make up a lot of clearly meaningless words that are gibberish but sound so inspired because I have been annointed by the spiritual oil.
The only thing that comes to mind is a passage somewhere in Psalms along the lines of "thou annointeth my head with oil." IIRC (it's been several decades since I was in a church, other than for funerals), this symbolized that the annointee was filled with the Holy Spirit and had been chosen by God for some divine purpose/mission. The rite was most commonly performed on future kings, priests, prophets, etc.
Rarely does one hear or see such a badly tossed bowl of word salad as what Hank Kunneman just threw out here. It is, of courses, couched in flowery language and word usages which I would defy anyone to find in any other venue other than religion in general and especially Christianity. Still he would have his fatuous followers believe that Trump is an Instrument Of The Lord™ and that he is on a proverbial Mission From God.
Personally, I think the explanation is a LOT simpler. Kunneman figures he can use the invasion of Venezuela to 1) advance his own popularity and 2) get in good with Donnie Dumb-Ass. The TL;DR version is even tighter:
The big money is in Citgo. That’s the one investing in the Toddler in Chief to make this all happen. The company that has the refinery specifically for Venezuelan oil.
Oh, I dunno... I think I prefer the pure, 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 nonsense to the stuff that comes out in fully-formed words and sentences. At least when they're wackybabbling and rolling around on the floor they're not spreading more lies and hate.
Something that's bothered me for years now is the number of people who, when presented with some clearly wealthy well-dressed preacher, will immediately open their wallets and give money to whatever organization said preacher is endorsing. I mean, just looking at the picture, it's clear Hank Kunneman has plenty of money available to him; that shirt could not have been cheap, the watch certainly appears to be gold, he's also wearing an apparently gold ring, and the pocket square sure looks like silk. Why should anyone give this guy a dime, never mind their grocery money?
In some respects, con artists like Kunneman are indicative of a bigger problem, specifically Christianity's inability to reign in its own members. So far as any outsiders can tell, Kunneman IS a Christian preacher considering the complete lack of any discipline to the contrary. It's also not like Kunneman is the only one, there are quite a few well known names in the Christian Prosperity Gospel sphere. With what prosperity gospel teaches (wealth = blessed/favored by God) is it really any wonder they voted en mass for Donald Trump, who often appears to be a very wealthy man?
The election of Donald Trump to the US Presidency just goes to show that most US Christians do, in fact, worship money over anything else.
I posted these same lyrics a few months back somewhere else. My phone's autosuggestion still pulls up do-goody-good as the first choice for a lot of things.
What I continue to find utterly galling is any representative of the Trump administration either refusing to comment on the video (which is DAMNING of ICE to begin with) or the utter gaslighting which Noem and Trump and others have attempted and failed at. My impression is that they have become so sold out to Trump that all they can do is lie and lie and lie and think they can ignore the consequences.
So, Kunneman may be equating the Catholic Venezuelans with no true Christian, but I think it is more about China not being Christian.
As I heard it, China loaned Venezuela a bunch of money, Venezuela is paying back that loan with their oil, giving China the control over the largest oil reserves in the world. And while Trump is fellating Xi Jinping, he still doesn’t want China to have all that oil and be the leaders in oil. That is why he’s talking about the hemisphere being ours. They’ve worked it out between themselves, Trump gets the western hemisphere, Putin gets Europe and Russia and Jinping gets Asia. If China has Venezuelan oil, then Jinping is outside his territory and in ours.
So, Kunneman may know about all this finagling, or he may not, but he knows this is about American imperialism no matter what and that’s what he’s preaching.
The other part of this is that the oil companies operating in Venezuela are also Canadian oil companies, so allowing them to have control over the Venezuelan oil without the Venezuela government involved allows them to manipulate oil prices. So allowing the supply to increase out of Venezuela would drop the price of oil coming out of Canada too, and that just won’t do. It’s all a shell game to the oil companies and the less governmental interference the better.
Yes, but ever since Triple-K started dressing like a couch, the couchfucker has been eyeing her and dropping hints that he wants to leave his current wife for EriKKKa.
I saw this on social media today about the Ice/Nazi executioner:
"Some of us have seen him before. We've seen him for a thousand years. We've seen him in a white tabard with a red cross. We've seen him in Dominican robes. We've seen him in a sheepskin coat and fur hat. We've seen him in a green tunic and a cap with a red star. And we've seen him in a black uniform with silver lightning-bolts on the lapels."

Good on ya'. Critical thinking is the mortal enemy of religion, and that's why religious leaders of all stripes rarely if ever encourage the practice.

Hey, Hanky...
What happened to Thou shalt not steal/Thou shalt not covet? Do these no longer apply?
TDS (Trump Devotion Syndrome) is a heck of a disease.
It's always okay if you're a Republican. Doubly so if you're Donald Trump.
The man who has repeatedly violated all 7 Deadly Sins.
And look at the grotesque result.
And the grotesqueness is now fully displayed on his orange face. Maybe he needs the spiritual oil to remove the awful make-up.
I can’t say which would be worse…the orange toxic waste or the ugly surface beneath it.
I’d rather not…
Oh come on Nogodz, you are showing your raising . The seven deadly sins apply only to Roman Catholics. He was raised marginally Presbyterian, so he gets a pass.
It's okay as long as they are hurting or stealing from the "right" people...

Aren’t those rules from that pussy Jesus? Weak. Sad.
/s I know those are the Ten Commandments
If "god' backed this then why didn't he show up in person to do it himself? Why does he need intermediaries to carry out his crimes?

An all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful god would show up and end all dispute. There should only be one religion and yet here we are.
I put spiritual oil in my car and the engine seized up.
Never use 10W-Jesus. That stuff sucks.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the good laugh!
Sorry to hear that. Next give the synthetic spiritual oil a try.
Seems to me that ALL of this stuff is synthetic. Nothing NATURAL about any of it!
Wish somebody would anoint Trump with spiritual oil. I'd love to see him burst into flames.
He got anointed by Russian hookers, but they didn’t use oil on him.

Two questions. Why is God taking the oil equivalent to the United States taking the oil? What the actual fuck is the "oil of the spirit"?
C'mon, Joe! You know you're not supposed to ask questions like that. You're just supposed to nod dully and follow the herd.
The oil of the spirit. It's that stuff that is cooked up from the residue of leaves, smoked and gives you revelations that are really hallucinations. I can make up a lot of clearly meaningless words that are gibberish but sound so inspired because I have been annointed by the spiritual oil.
Now I lay me down to sleep. 😂

It's for when your spirit gets squeaky.
That’s what my can of WD-40 is for. It came with a tiny one too so I can carry it with me for emergencies.

You are quoting one of the bibble's greatest hits, Psalm 23.
It's been a while. I knew it was a well-known passage, but I couldn't quite remember the context.

Hank Kunneman is an attention whore.
Why do I suspect that Kunneman bought stock in Chevron, Exxon Mobil, and Conoco Phillips?
AND British Petroleum. No bet.
The big money is in Citgo. That’s the one investing in the Toddler in Chief to make this all happen. The company that has the refinery specifically for Venezuelan oil.
If that weren't enough, The Toddler in Chief also has plans to manage the oil himself and place them in an offshore account somewhere.
I left out revenues. Should be "oil revenues"
For money. Most likely. After all, nothing seems to speak their language better.
The terrifying thing is that nutjobs like this have so many followers.
Yes. And many of them are probably farmers who probably got shafted by the demented one's tariffs.

I can’t believe this ol’ trick still works on people
Given the argle bargle that escaped the P-ass-tor's upper sphinter, I'd say the title of one of Seth Andrew's books applies here:
"Christianity Made Me Talk Like an Idiot."
Christianity makes them ALL talk like idiots! Or at least when they're not speaking in tongues, which is even worse!
Oh, I dunno... I think I prefer the pure, 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘥 nonsense to the stuff that comes out in fully-formed words and sentences. At least when they're wackybabbling and rolling around on the floor they're not spreading more lies and hate.
Wacky babbling. Love it. Especially when rolling around on the floor.
Personally, I'd rather listen to that AI clone of Christopher Hitchens, that has been doing the rounds on YouTube lately. At least HE makes sense!

Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I posted these same lyrics a few months back somewhere else. My phone's autosuggestion still pulls up do-goody-good as the first choice for a lot of things.
OT: Protests in the Twin Cities. Protesters being arrested. ICE wielding guns. Really hoping no one else gets shot today.
What I continue to find utterly galling is any representative of the Trump administration either refusing to comment on the video (which is DAMNING of ICE to begin with) or the utter gaslighting which Noem and Trump and others have attempted and failed at. My impression is that they have become so sold out to Trump that all they can do is lie and lie and lie and think they can ignore the consequences.
Trump MIGHT. The rest of 'em? We'll see.
Refusing to comment is quite likely the LEAST reprehensible thing they’ve done so far.
So, Kunneman may be equating the Catholic Venezuelans with no true Christian, but I think it is more about China not being Christian.

"...as the prices of oil go down, down, down, down, down,..."
Idk. That's catholic oil and it's going to need a lot of refining to get rid of the demons. Will probably offset any cost savings.
He keeps yammering about spiritual oil, but all I hear is "𝑮𝒐𝒕𝒕 𝒎𝒊𝒕 𝒖𝒏𝒔!"
And 𝔄𝔯𝔟𝔢𝔦𝔱 𝔐𝔞𝔠𝔥𝔱 𝔉𝔯𝔢𝔦!
I just had a thought
Or a delusion perhaps. Does JDV realize being catholic is not christian and therefore he is not entitled to be annointed with the spiritual oil?
I mean, they're still working on teaching him to stop humping the furniture, so I dunno if he's made it to 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 part of the curriculum yet.
Stop calling Erika Kirk furniture. She’s a Barbie whose head was detached and shoved back on.
I believe Joan's reference is to JD's nickname of couchf**ker.
I got that, I was just bringing up more current events. He was fucking the couch to get to the Barbie stuck in the cushions.
Well, he's probably hung like a Ken doll, so that fits.
Yes, but ever since Triple-K started dressing like a couch, the couchfucker has been eyeing her and dropping hints that he wants to leave his current wife for EriKKKa.
